Just great work Pietro, modelling at it's finest level. This is looking like a spectacularly fine Scratch Build and it's just started! I'll be checking in on a very regular basis.
Cheers,

loving the build but shouldnt this be under "scratch" builds instead of normal "under constuction" it deserves to be in the hallowed halls of the other masterpiece scratch builds imho

Hello everyone, some more progress from this morning:  (The Blue Angels are still blasting over my trees)  I know they're not correct, but I'm really leaning toward those Barracuda seats. Will finish up the control stick(s) and rudder bars with hook ups tonight. Thanks for looking.  Pietro

    Very nice touch with the Barracuda seats, Pietro, I wouldn't be able to resist them either. Looking like truly a "one of a kind" Build, this is going to be a very unique production!
